A roadmapping tool built for design teams — planning views on top of Jira, strategic goals, weekly notes, and a Jira-safe way to write changes back.
Jira is the system of record for engineering, but it doesn't give design leads the planning views they need: roadmaps organized by designer, by product area, or by strategic goal. Volat sits on top of Jira as a planning and visibility layer — it pulls in epics, issues, and people, lets managers lay out roadmaps and timelines, attach weekly progress notes, and stage every change as plain text that can be pasted straight into Claude Code to update Jira. No login required for v1.
Connects to Jira to pull in epics, issues, and people, so roadmap data starts from what's actually in Jira instead of a second spreadsheet.
Managers define larger goals per workstream and assign projects to them, so tactical Jira work is visibly tied to strategic priorities.
Drag-to-adjust timelines, editable descriptions and assignments — grouped by designer, product area, goal, or Jira parent.
Each project gets a running log of weekly progress notes plus attached reference files, so history isn't lost between check-ins.
Every edit made in the app — timelines, descriptions, assignments, weekly updates — is also written to a plaintext change log. Copy it, paste it into Claude Code (connected to Jira), and the changes land back in Jira.
Combines this week's notes across every project into one document, prepends a fixed prompt, and produces text ready to paste in to generate a weekly update in a specific, predefined format.
